Case Study
In the modern world, planning efficient routes is essential for business and industry, with applications as varied as product distribution, laying new fiber optic lines for broadband internet, and suggesting new friends within social network websites like Facebook.
This field of mathematics started nearly 300 years ago as a look into a mathematical puzzle (we’ll look at it in a bit). The field has exploded in importance in the last century, both because of the growing complexity of business in a global economy and because of the computational power that computers have provided us.
In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs: A “graph” in this context refers to a collection of vertices or ‘nodes’ and a collection of edges that connect pairs of vertices.
Case Study Questions
